I would probably bring the xtra fuel but only use it if I needed it. You would probably be better served practicing and getting your fuel stops streamlined. As Ira pointed out using the can is still a stop and after it all plays out may not save much time. You should really do some practice runs pull over park get of the bike unstrap the can pour the fuel strap the can back on and go. But you also have to account for the extra time spent filling the can at the next regular stop. It may be faster to just plan every other stop as a pull in to the pump and go don't even get off the bike.
Practice your regular stops and develop a routine the get the time down. I just pull in fill the tank pull the receipt and write the log info on the back make a quick trip inside for to pee grab a couple drinks and go. Might be tough for you but usually jab some sort sandwich I can eat on the road. I drop it in a pocket or tank bag and once back on the rad and everything's settled down a can gobble it down dry.
I'm not a super planner either but I have the route in the GPS and once I get down below 1/2 on fuel I start doing some searches for fuel on my current route. In rural areas typically you'll set them spaced out in what are probably exits and they be some distance away and use that to determining my stoops based on the MPG I getting at the time I pretty much what it usually is but sometimes bucking a head wind ir something it can be way off.
The big thing is practice and experiment to figure out what is best for you before the start. You're sure to learn things during the ride you just don't want to be learning the thing that will make the ride doable.
When I attempted an east toe east CC50 I leaned that I had completlry underestimated the effect of the time zone changes on my in ride planning and decision making.
